Cool Vegas knows something about this Braves/Nats game
I'm just not sure what this means...

Braves Ml is -150 yet Rl is -1&1/2 -105

Now look at the Giants today.... Ml is -153, yet Rl is -1&1/2 +150


I think Vegas is telling us the Nats sweep the Braves today??

Thoughts?

Gl today guys

Enough with the conspiracy theories.

Braves are on the road with a total of 8.5 while the Giants are at home and the total is only 7.5.

All favored road teams get less on the run line than home teams across the board.....especially with a higher total they figures its easier to win by 2. No more no less.

Seems a bit low to me also and they probably assume everyone is going to slam the Braves today like myself.
Braves RL is +110 at Bookmaker

I think they are trying to bait you into that. The truth is I got hammered with Lowe and the BRAVES last night. If you take the NATS be cautious. WANG got rocked in his last start, and i am not sure he is ready for prime time yet. This line is a trap. Just my 2 sense.

Wasn't trying to be slick. Mets are -30 at home while the Reds are -30 on the road. Mets RL +60, Reds RL +25....its just harder to win by 2 at home because you can only walk off by 1 unless its a homer.

And as your example shows, San Fran can't score to start with, so winning by 2 tough deal

i put a decent buck on the over.
The juice went up, and back down, wish I had (-125).

Beachy's pitched a lot of pitches lately and Wang sucks so I'd be surprised if it stayed under.

People are betting down those nats I see too.
